Question

$$3x+3=5x$$

$x = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$

Subtract $5x$ from both sides.

$$3x+3-5x=0$$

Combine $3x$ and $-5x$ to get $-2x$.

$$-2x+3=0$$

Subtract $3$ from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$-2x=-3$$

Divide both sides by $-2$.

$$x=\frac{-3}{-2}$$

Fraction $\frac{-3}{-2}$ can be simplified to $\frac{3}{2}$ by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

$$x=\frac{3}{2}$$
